Dear partner,
We are writing with an important update regarding the Fairtrade and Fairmined gold partnership between Fairtrade International (FLO) and the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM), which is in operation to 21 April 2013. As a result of a partnership review process and taking into account feedback received from both market and mining partners, we have decided, instead of renewing the existing formal partnership, to bring this to an end, in favour of a more flexible model of co-operation for the future.
